I present science programmes on BBC Radio 4 and the World Service, and my writing has appeared across the world, including in New Scientist, the Guardian, The Times, Science, Cell, Wired, Wallpaper, Vogue, GQ,among others. I was the launch presenter of the BBC's The Food Chain
and I have hosted More or Less
and Material World.

I started my career with ITN on its prestigious news trainee scheme. After that, I joined the BBC as a news reporter, where my six-month investigation into bogus universities featured on the flagship national News at Ten and won a Prix Circom European television news award.

I have a Masters in Engineering from Oxford University, and a second Masters in Science and Security from the Department of War Studies at King’s College London. Between 2012 and 2013 I was a Knight Science Journalism Fellow
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US.
